AB 1041, Strickland. Ronald Reagan Presidential Library: special interest license plates.
Existing law requires the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue special interest license plates, as specified, to any person, to be displayed in lieu of regular license plates.
This bill would add a Ronald Reagan Presidential Library special interest license plate to the special interest license plate program. The bill would require the additional funds collected by the issuance of those special interest license plates to be deposited into the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Account, created by the bill, in the General Fund to be used by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, upon appropriation, to fund the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
